Lemon Herb Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared chicken breast and tender roasted asparagus are infused with bright lemon and fragrant herbs for a zesty, nutrient-dense lunch.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 cup asparagus
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears on the baking sheet with 0.5 tbsp of olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, and black pepper.
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the dried oregano, minced garlic, remaining sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tbsp of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breast for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is golden brown.
While the chicken is searing, roast the asparagus in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes until tender-crisp and slightly charred.
Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the cooked chicken and roasted asparagus.
Serve the lemon herb chicken and asparagus immediately alongside the warm cooked quinoa.
